Bolivians entering Ireland - New visa requirements

September 19, 2023

All Bolivian nationals will now require a visa before travelling to or through Ireland with effect from 12th September 2023


The Department of Justice has recently announced, that from 12th September 2023, all Bolivian nationals must obtain a visa before travelling to Ireland. In addition, a transit visa will also be required if Bolivian nationals wish to travel through Ireland to reach another destination.


This introduction for Bolivian nationals will bring Ireland into alignment with the visa requirements that apply in the UK and in the Schengen countries, which require all Bolivian nationals to obtain a visa before entering the country.


Irish visa requirements are being reviewed on an ongoing basis, to ensure that effective immigration protocols are in place, while facilitating those who wish to travel to Ireland for work, study, to join family members or simply for a visit. 


As always for further guidance and support, please contact the MSS team and we will be happy to assist you.
